    Philippines is the best, even without much money,what most important is you have the RICE,and some important needs. It's not a big deal if we have no savings money. Filipino are easy-going,hospitality,most are friendly even sometimes the English not perfect but still can communicate, nobody's perfect,proud Pinay here. We can smile even if sometimes life was so hard. Also they can still find a way how to earn for their everyday food.

    I love this video..How sad you were now separated,but please don't say yet ex-wife in your new Vlogs recently. You're not yet officially divorce until you turn barck in Russia. It's your lost of viewers and Valentina gets more viewers and subscribers. I hope you realized that, remember in every broke-up,women gets more sympathy than men. It's more better if you hide it to us about your revelation about the broke-up,especially when Parents of Valentina's are on their Holiday in the Philippines,it's a big disappointment to them. Look at them they get old but still together,seems they are also nice people. Your children still innocent,it's hard for them to explain now,there's always a right time for everything. I still wish the best to both of you.

    I love this video, Sergei, especially with your lovely wife Valentina telling us what you love and appreciate about our country. Yeah, the weather is probably the best reason why a lot of foreigners from countries that have cold weather move there: Philippines is always warm, and Samal is a small island so it never gets too hot because the ocean is all around you. And humans are "warm blooded", it does not matter where you are from. So our climate is very helpful for your mood and well being. It definitely affects your mind and body if you are not freezing all the time like in Russia or other European country. You are always thinking about staying warm, inside your house and outside when you leave the house. That alone is STRESS, and that's why we are always smiling and always happy because we don't think about the weather, less problem, less stress! .Our only problem or stress is we can't decide what to eat for lunch or dinner...Kinilaw or Sisig hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

      2011 pa lang andito na sila sa pinas, umuuwi sila sa Russia but still bumabalik parin sila dito bilang 2nd home nila in 13 yrs. Nag stay sila dito kasi mahal nila ang bansa natin, these foreign couple deserve more love, respect and support kasi minahal nila ang pinas noon pa na hindi pa uso ang vlogging nandito na sila. Kaya support natin sila sa mga vlogs nila. May vlog man o wala but they still choosing and love Philippines.

    At 7:30, You may have confused it with a fiesta event like a birthday party. In the Philippines, birthdays are celebrated by inviting close friends and family to stay for a while, socialize, laugh, eat, drink, and most importantly, sing karaoke. In a feast or fiesta, everyone is welcome to join and after eating, guests can move on to the next house for more food. As a Filipino, it is customary to linger after a meal, especially at a birthday celebration for a loved one, unless there is an urgent need to leave."

    • @peepow2
      @peepow2 2 місяці тому

      His observation is right, impolite guests whether on birthdays or fiestas are uncontrollable. Filipinos are fond of bringing along shenanigans; even those thick faces once full, all scram. Sadly, it has become a norm to us locals and quite shameful to other cultures around the globe.

    I know you couple are very understanding and I'll tell you why they leave, they cannot communicate in english. But we usually stay at a party to celebrate the special day with the celebrants. You know guys at your place a lot of people there don't speak English there it's a remote place but if you go to the city especially Manila people are more educated. Guys we enjoy your show I hope you'll make more !
